How can we help you access NHS funded IVF?

NICE (National Institute for Care Health and Care Excellence) sets out a set of guidelines for NHS to provide for IVF. It highlights 3 major criteria for women as follows:

• They have not had IVF treatment funded by the NHS
• There is no evidence of low ovarian reserve
• There has been a discussion of the additional implications of IVF and pregnancy

What is regarded as evidence of low ovarian reserve?

NICE Guidelines further clarify that:

The following measures should be used to predict the likely ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation in IVF:
• Total antral follicle count of more than 4
• Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) higher than 5.4 pmol/l
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) lower than 8.9 IU/l

What other factors are taken into account?

Other success predictors NICE stipulates are:

• Famale age
• Body Mass Index
• Lifestyle factors e.g. if one is smoking or not

How is NICE’s Guideline being put into practice by the NHS?

In practice, most NHS Trusts in England formulate their policy for access to IVF broadly based on what NICE recommends. The policies of many Trusts in England may resemble the following:

• Age < 40

• AMH > 6 (this may vary slightly from Trust to Trust)

• FSH < 10 (this may vary from Trust to Trust)

• Plus other factors such as being non-smokers, no previous NHS funded IVF history, no children so far etc.

How can I obtain a comprehensive set of criteria for NHS funded IVF?

You should be able to access a set of criteria for NHS funded IVF from your GP or from the Hospital Trust in your area.

How can we help you access NHS funded IVF ?

We have helped our patients to access NHS funded IVF through helping women to reduce their FSH and increase their AMH to levels that meet the NHS funding requirements for IVF.

My partner and I had being trying to conceive for a number of yeears without success.

My health was not always great and I often felt tired and was dragging myself through life.

My sperm test results revealed a virtually non existent count (less than 100) and the doctor doing the test results analysis said 'I had as much chance of conceiving with my partner as winning the lottery.' Going to my GP I was told that there was nothing conventional medicine could do about it. They could only offer help on the woman's side. There was nothing they could do for a man.

Looking desperately for an alternative I found TCM Healthcare on the internet and spoke to Prof. Au who said he thought they could help. He then arranged an appointment for me with Professor Y Li at TCM HealthCare's Clinic in Harley Street, an expert trained in Chinese Medicine and Fertility in Beijing.

In the initial consultation the Professor asked questions and listened to my answers and explanation of my medical symptoms. He also took my pulses and looked at my tongue. His manner was always friendly and sympathetic and it was obvious he really wanted to help. He stressed Chinese medicine treats the whole body and said I should see improvements generally in my overall health along with the improvements in fertility.

I was prescribed herbs to be boiled with water which would make a hot drink to be taken twice per day. Although not the most tastefull drink I figured that it was doing me good and soon got quite used to my daily routine of drinking it morning and night.

I had folow up appointments each month during which he would reassess my condition and would then refine the herbs I was to take for the following month.

I noticed I started to have more energy and generally started feeling better all round.

After about 4 months I decided to have a second test and was genuinely shocked to see my count had increased to 20 Million. A subsequent test two months later revealed it had improved to 70 Million

After seven months my partner announced she was pregnant. Today my partner had her 11 week scan and all is well.
